I recently heard an amazing story from a friend of mine. He was bicycling through the rocky mountains with his girlfriend. During a break they were having a Grizzly bear approached them. The Bear took an offensive posture kneeling it's head low, growly, and walking slowly in a zig zag fashion toward.
My friend was suddenly not afraid. He said his inner beast came out. His fear completely vanished, He got on his bike, and let his big coat hang loose giving him the appearance of being big. He then mimicked the movements of the bear while on his bike. Slowly going in a zig zag fashion. He faced off the bear with his posturing. The bear eventually turned around and began walking away, it would look back at him every now and then and sniff the air.
During the whole experience, my friend described he was actually viewing the scene from above, and watching himself behave in that fashion. He was completely baffled as to how he exactly accomplished this.
Don Juan talks at length in the power of silence, about using life threatening situations to stalk yourself into another position of the assemblage point. For some reason crucial circumstances sometimes forces people to utilize their energy body in ways they weren't previously aware of. His story actually reminded me of when Carlos and Don Juaan escaped the pursuit of a jaguar. during which carlos also saw himelf from another perspective, and entered into the parallel perception.
Do any of you have such stories? Has an encounter with death ever helped you realize the true potential of your being?
